Jumping in here because this is giving me flashbacks to my narrowboat setup 😅
@MultiPlusGeek does the ghost device show any actual data or is it completely static/zeros across the board?
Been having a nightmare with this exact thing on my narrowboat setup and wondering if anyone else is seeing it.
Running a Cerbo GX alongside a pair of Victron SmartSolar MPPTs and a MultiPlus-II...
Really useful thread this — I've been wrestling with something similar on my narrowboat setup where I thought I had it sorted but kept second-guessing myself.
Quick question for @OldSailor — when...
Been dealing with this exact headache on my narrowboat but I reckon the same principle applies — short runs in winter just don't cut it when you're relying on alternator charging, do they?
The...
Really interesting thread this — I've been down a similar rabbit hole trying to sort charging for my narrowboat and a tiny house build simultaneously, so I've tested a fair few budget cells.
One...

@DerekMoore89 snap - I'm also mid-narrowboat planning and this thread is doing my head in (in a good way)!
Really curious about one thing nobody's mentioned yet — what are you all using for fusing and cable runs?
That's where my budget always creeps up unexpectedly.
@BatteryJason interesting one — I've had something similar on the narrowboat over winter. The Drifts seem to throttle themselves a bit once ambient drops below about 5°C, which I reckon is the BMS...
@SimonThompson yes! Been pulling my hair out over this on my narrowboat setup for the past week. Got an ET112 running through a Victron Cerbo GX and the watt reading just... stops.
Really feel this one @DodgyCaptain — I've been paranoid about this exact scenario ever since I started relying more heavily on my setup for EV charging overnight on the narrowboat.
One thing...
Been scratching my head over something similar on my narrowboat setup and wondering if anyone else has run into this.
Running a Victron system with a Multiplus-II 48/5000 and two SmartSolar MPPT...
@Tango yeah this is news to me too — I only knew LiTime from their LiFePO4 batteries which seem decent enough for the price point.
Curious whether this unit has proper comms integration though?
Been eyeing these Eco-Worthy units myself, particularly for the narrowboat setup. The 5120Wh capacity seems decent for a secondary backup system, though I'm curious about real-world performance...
Ah, proper glad you're jumping in! Your post got truncated though—you were saying you're running a "conve..." something?
Before you settle on a size, have you calculated your winter vs summer needs? Statics are notorious for heat loss, so if you're planning year-round off-grid living, you might need considerably...
